Where did this guy really come from? Oh, sure, last year at this time he was just a guy at a junior college in Texas.

A few college scouts, including Auburn's offensive coordinator, Gus Malzahn, were more interested in recruiting one of Blinn College's receivers than they were the monster quarterback. "I'd never even heard of him," said Malzahn, I didn't even know who he was."

Exactly.

Who is Cam Newton? How does an entire country of recruiters not take notice of a 6'6 quarterback who looks like Magic Johnson, passes like Warren Moon and runs like Eddie George? Did Cam grow 10 inches and get crazy talents overnight?

Nobody goes from virtual obscurity to college football's best player, arguably one of the best ever college football players, in 12 months with little or no fanfare. Not without a little help from the dark side, if you know what I mean.

Did he make a deal with the devil? Maybe he's the anti-Christ. Or even worse, maybe he's one o' them Obama Muslim terrorists.

To his SEC opponents this year, he was worse than the devil. He was a hero to their villain. Superman to their Lex Luthor. And to make matters worse, he has been an absolute joy to watch. Dontcha hate that in an opponent?

Wait til this Tiger is turned loose on the Ducks in the BCS national championship game. Whoa, Daffy.

Perhaps the only thing that can stop Cam Newton is a good conspiracy. Something bigger and sleazier than that pesky Daddy/money issues thingy.
